WHISTLING TOY.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 94,] 55, dated August 24, 1869.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES WEBER, of

West Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Whistling Toy; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and.

exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specificatle and at its opposite end arevolving or jump-.

ing toy in such a manner that by blowinginto the air-supply pipe the whistle is sonnded,and at the same time the toy is set in motion.

In the drawings, the letter 'A designatesihe air-supply pipe, which is provided at one end with a convenient mouth-piece, a, and which. connects at its opposite end with the dischargepipe B, said two pipes being joined in such a manner that they form a sort of a T.

The discharge-pipe B is provided at one end with a whistle, b, and to its opposite end is attached a toy, C, which is so constructed that it either revolves or jumps up and down by the action of the air.

In Fig. 1 Ihave representedarevolving toy, which consists of an axle, c, to which are secured two propeller-wheels, d e, and a series.

of human or other figures so that the-air 'on passing out of the discharge-pipe B will act on the propeller and cause the axle 0,-with its 'fig nres, to revolve, and at the same time the airacts on the whistle on the opposite end of the discharge-pipe,

In Fig. 2 I have presented a jumping toy, which consists of a simple ball or sphere made of cork or other light material and inclosed in an open pear-shaped cage, f. By the current of air discharging from the pipe B the ball is caused to jump up and down in its cage.

It is obvious that the form or shape of the revolving orjnlnping toy can be changed in a. great many different ways, and I do not wish to confine myself to the precise form or shape shown in the drawings.

WhatI claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

The air supply pipe A and air-discharge pipe B, in combination with awhistle and with a revolving or jumping toy, substantially-as shown and described.

CHARLES WEBER.
